Christmas Miracles

not really a "miracle" more about an 8 year old heart. Our neighbors have 7 kids ranging from late 20's to my sons age, the dad and the older boys owned thier own company but it went under in the construction crash they have been scraping by since- okay long story
While taking out our Christmas decorations we had an extra tree that we had bought last year but was too small for our ornaments. I told the boys we were just going to leave it in the box dont mess with it. My 8 year old said- Mom (neighborgirl) said her dad couldnt get them a tree this year do you think they would like this one? I said I guess we could call and and ask he said " No lets wait until they go to sleep put in thier porch as a surprise"
Which we did and walking home after my son looked at me and said, this must be how santa feels

What a wonderful story, I absolutely believe the Lord gives us these tender mercies, I have witnessed so many in my life. Thanks for the reminder :)

What an uplifting story. Gods work is everywhere!

What a beautiful story. This year my son witnessed a Christmas miracle when his friend's mom was told that her doctors had found a liver donor for her - they have been waiting 5 years for one to become available. They received the call the day after Christmas, and she had the surgery yesterday.

What a nice gift/offering...I have had 2 one was my baby is in speech thearpy with ECI our police dept. hosts a shop with a cop she was choosen they had $200.00 reserved in money for her to buy her educational toys and a winter coat one toy for her siblings.Just 2 days before Christmas I have been waitng for 3 months for her ear tubes hubby changed jobs so I had to do what any mom would do for the best interest in our children I applied for Medicaid 3 months ago after we had already lost our insurance & waiting to get on with his current job finally I received a phone call that we are approved make her appt. to get her ears taken care of,I was in shock I thanked the lady let her know that she has made my Chritmas gift early.We are now getting them done & in hopes she begins to have a full life of hearing what is around her our voices.
I admit I was a Grinch this year up until the days following Christmas there was just something about this year I didn't want to partake in the spirit

This isnt really a miracle, but it was my favorite moment this year was seeing my grandma out of bed and dressed. I recently had to admit her to a nursing hom after a stroke. Then she had to get a feeding tube because the stroke caused it to be very difficult to swallow anything without aspirating. Now that she does not have to leave her room/bed to eat, she doesn't leave at all. (The staff has strongly encouraged her, but she refuses and they cant force her. She also has threatened (and followed through with it) to purposely fall when they try to get her out of bed.) When i got there, i had someone help me get her dressed in her christmas outfit, complete with bra (!) sitting in her wheel chair, attempting to draw a picture while i rearranged her room and hooked up the converter box to her television. While it tired her out, it gives me hope that she will get out of bed more often now.

Wow! I love these messages. They all brought tears to my eyes. It's true that kids learn from what their parents DO more than from what they SAY. Kudos to you all! I LOVE when my kids show their tender hearts for those in need.
